Build Plate Cleaner is better at removing build plate adhesives than Isopropyl Alcohol
Contrary to popular belief, isopropyl alcohol is not a primary solvent for PVA glue. If you feel like you get "good enough" results with 70% IPA, it's actually the 30% water that is doing the heavy lifting. You would need even more 91% IPA to do the same job.
Build Plate Cleaner is water based with an added surfactant that helps to dissolve PVA glue faster and with less scrubbing.
Isopropyl alcohol is still an important part of 3D Printer maintenance, especially for cleaning motion system components like linear rods and lead screws. So keep a bottle around, just don't use it to clean PVA glue off your build plate!
Build Plate Cleaner Kits
Tap water can leave mineral residue
While nothing can replace the deep clean you get from scrubbing your build plate with soap and water, if your tap water is hard, it can leave behind mineral build up.
Use Build Plate Cleaner after washing your build plate with soap and water to guarantee a pristine surface.
Or skip the soap and water all together! Build Plate Cleaner does a great job of removing glue, dust, and skin oils without the need for rinsing. Just spray and wipe away.
Will it work with your build plate?
Absolutely!
Build Plate Cleaner works with virtually all build plate materials. Because it is water based, if you can clean your build plate with soap and water, you can clean it with Build Plate Cleaner.
